    Life has changed a lot for Reese Witherspoon over the last 18 months. The former single mother (who divorced fellow actor Ryan Phillippe in 2007) got married again last March and is expecting a baby with her new hubby, agent Jim Toth, any day now. (It will be her third child, his first.) Now, with her family expanding, Witherspoon is actually downsizing her real estate portfolio, putting the Ojai, California, ranch she purchased in 2008 on the market for a cool $10 million.

  • Kim Kardashian responds to criticism: ‘In no way was I comparing my own experiences to that of a cancer patient’

    Kim Kardashian (Splash News)Kim Kardashian caught plenty of flack this week (as tends to happen to a rich girl who got super famous thanks to a reality show she got after making a sex tape) for a remark she made in a recent interview with the U.K.’s The Guardian. In it, the 31-year-old made a comment many construed as comparing her struggles (televising her wedding, splitting from the groom 72 days later) to … the struggles of someone with cancer?

    We at omg! weren’t convinced that’s what she actually meant by the statement, but you can decide for yourself. Here’s what she said in the interview, addressing the topic of whether she felt pressure to televise her wedding for her reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians": "Not really. We [were] done filming our season at that point, so we decided to film for the wedding. And that was a decision that he and I made together. But I think that, with any decisions in life, like, I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard

  • Ben Affleck: ‘I’m not very present’ outside of work

    Mark Seliger/DETAILS

    Ben Affleck has become as much associated with family as with his acting in recent years, thanks to his seven-year marriage to fellow celeb Jennifer Garner and their three children. The clan, which includes daughters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3, and 7-month-old son Samuel, is constantly photographed in picture-perfect scenarios from 4th of July parades, to neighborhood breakfast outings, to beach vacations together. But in a new interview with Details magazine, Affleck doesn't pretend that family is the only thing that matters.

  • Jennifer Lawrence goes to the birds

Looking svelte and sexy, the "Hunger Games" star posed in a variety of aviary-inspired pics in the October issue, complete with over-the-top costumes, headgear, and a variety of birds.

  • Andrew Lincoln on the cover of the October issue. (Ture Lillegraven/Men’s Health)Andrew Lincoln has spent most of his acting career making a name for himself in his native England, with his films and TV shows rarely crossing the pond (except in the case of the 2003 romantic dramedy "Love Actually"), but his life changed when he was cast in an American comic-book-based TV show about zombies (yes, zombies) called "The Walking Dead." After premiering in late 2010 on AMC, the show become one of cable's most successful TV dramas currently on the air, with Lincoln playing the lead character, a deputy sheriff trying to help lead his community in a chaotic, post-apocalyptic world.

    Up until then, he tells Men's Health, "I'd played sort of jokey, Jack the Lad kinds of roles. Romantic roles. Period dramas." To land the part, he proved his acting skills through an audition tape of himself speaking with a Southern drawl. And, since the series started out with his character wandering around for days in search of his family, the lack of sleep Lincoln was dealing with in real life as the dad of a newborn son at the time helped him look the part. In addition to his son, Lincoln has a 5-year-old daughter with wife Gael Anderson.

  • Why does Kate Middleton always have to be pregnant?

    "So, when are you going to start a family?" It's a question lots of couples get asked by relatives and friends soon after they get married, or even before, depending on the patience of their loved ones. (The fact that implying someone doesn't actually have a family unless he or she has children is kind of offensive to begin with, but that's a topic for another article.)

    But imagine if it wasn't just your mom and your Aunt Mildred pressuring you to procreate, but the entire world. That's basically been the situation Prince William and wife Kate Middleton have been in since they first announced their engagement back in November 2010. Why? Well, everyone loves a good royal heir, I guess … despite the fact he or she most likely wouldn't take the throne until most of us are long gone.
    Since their April 2011 wedding, the media has studied Middleton's every move, looking for any clue that might indicate the Duchess of Cambridge could have a royal bun in the oven — whether it's a hand on her stomach, a purse perched in front of her midriff, or "bump photos" which usually involve pointing out that the super-slim Middleton's torso isn't concave.

  • Levi Johnston welcomes new daughter, names her after a gun

     class=Levi Johnston (Donna Ward/Getty Images)This just in: Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin’s son Tripp, just welcomed his second child, a daughter weighing 6 pounds, 15 ounces, today. The child’s mother is Johnston’s latest girlfriend and fellow Wasilla, Alaska, resident, 20-year-old teacher Sunny Oglesby. Yep, like it or not, another little Johnston coming into the world is indeed news. And the fact the couple named their new addition Breeze Beretta, with the newborn’s middle name honoring a high-end Italian gun manufacturer, well, that just sealed the deal. Johnston, a 22-year-old former oil rig worker, strategically announced the name months ago, explaining that his yet-to-be-born bundle of joy was accidentally conceived during a hunting trip and that Beretta is his favorite shotgun.

    His first baby mama was, not surprisingly, less than thrilled by the announcement. In an April interview with In Touch, she claimed Johnston hadn’t seen his son in four months and

    Actor Michael Clarke Duncan's humble attitude and kind nature may have been very un-showbiz, but it turns out he stole the hearts of many Hollywood heavyweights and developed close relationships with several big stars. A memorial service took place in Los Angeles on Monday for the 54-year-old, who died on September 3 of complications from a July heart attack, and plenty of famous faces showed up not just to pay their respects, but to speak about a man they considered a friend.

    Jay Leno got choked up as he addressed the mourners and remembered Clarke's joy over falling in love with his fiancée, reality star Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, two years ago. "I know he was 54, but he was 17 years old with me and he was so happy," said Leno, fighting back tears. "And when he met Omarosa we talked again and I know that big smile, but you know it grew like another millimeter on each side. He was so happy."

  • Julianne Hough: ‘I was reluctant’ to date Ryan Seacrest

    Julianne Hough talks her relationship with Ryan. (John Akehurst/InStyle Makeover)Ryan Seacrest doesn't talk much about his relationship with singer-actress-dancer Julianne Hough, but Hough, on the other hand, has been happy to share some scoop lately when it comes to their romance. In the latest issue of InStyle Makeover, the "Rock of Ages" star confesses she had initial concerns about dating the media mogul.

    "I was reluctant because he is such an influential guy, and what if it didn't work out," she admits. "Our first date, I was so nervous that I just sat there and interviewed him with questions like, 'Are you loyal?' and 'Are you close to your family?'" Two years later, Hough couldn't be happier. "I'm very in love, and it feels great," the 24-year-old shares. "I feel like I'm more comfortable in my own skin. You see me instead of all the makeup and hair."
